  • Episode on Immunotherapy

    Really enjoyed the conversation between these oncologist. They seem to be great doctors who really care for their patients are working for the best solutions they know of.

    It was also interesting to see their blind spots. The great thing about immunotherapy is slowly opening the door between integrative oncology and traditional oncology. These guys don’t get into it but they are asking the right questions.

    1) What can be combined with immunotherapy?

    2) What can be done to prevent side effec... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FDA Approval: Zidesamtinib and ROS1 NSCLC
Q: What is the current treatment approach for ROS1 fusions in the US and how does Zidesamtinib fit into it?
ROS1-targeted therapy remains foundational after progression on initial TKIs, with Zidesamtinib offering strong activity in both single- and multi-TKI-exposed patients, plus notable CNS activity; the drug may become a standard option post prior ROS1 inhibition and potentially move earlier in the treatment sequence as data mature.
Game Changers & Hard Truths: Dr. Balazs Halmos Unfiltered
Q: Balazs, how was it to be in that moment of history when you were involved in understanding the resistant mechanisms to a mutation that at that time we thought we understood?
It was magical and revealing; the field showed that even well-characterized mutations could develop resistance, which validated the need to study resistance mechanisms and pursue new inhibitors and strategies.
IASLC - Nursing & Allied Health in Lung Cancer Care and Clinical Research
Q: What is the role of activity and rehabilitation in lung cancer care?
Morten describes how activity helps maintain function and independence, using analogies of rehearsing to illustrate how patients can gradually improve capability and quality of life.
IASLC - Nursing & Allied Health in Lung Cancer Care and Clinical Research
Q: How can patients' nutritional needs and muscle mass be better managed during treatment?
The discussion emphasizes addressing malnutrition not just as weight loss but muscle loss, using medical nutrition therapy, psychosocial support, and a multidisciplinary team to maintain function and quality of life.
IASLC - Nursing & Allied Health in Lung Cancer Care and Clinical Research
Q: So, Nicole, from your perspective, why was it important to have a dedicated committee to nursing and allied professionals within IASLC?
Nicole explains that nurses and allied health professionals play a crucial, day-to-day role across the cancer journey, and a formal mechanism helps elevate their expertise and ensure it informs the broader organization and patient care.
